The Need: NYC’s immigrant student population is growing, but schools remain overcrowded and under-resourced for high school students who are young adults between the ages of 17 and 21. Cultural and language barriers make it difficult for students to thrive in traditional settings. Every student deserves a safe, supportive space to learn and grow.

Our Vision: Create new schools that can focus on immigrant students needs, establish partnerships with community organizations to provide wrap-around services to students

The Impact: New Schools mean better academic outcomes, stronger communities, and brighter futures for immigrant youth.
